BLACK SAND MINING in The Gulf of Papua. I just took a look at their tenement portfolio, extending from Daru and past Kerema. DID someone forget to tell these people that Western and Gulf Provinces are the last and only strongholds for the pig-nosed turtle populations in PNG? The last remaining species of an old family of turtles, once globally distributed now only found in Southern New Guinea and Northern Australia. The turtles that spend their entire lives underwater only surfacing to nest ... on sandbanks. With the 57% decline of the iconic PNG five toea turtle, Saving Piku -- PNGs Pig Nosed Turtle, I think you may have more challenges heading your way with this development...something to consider? (sorry I cut and pasted my comment from The PNG News Page)
